So I tried to PM a couple of members here who have done similar swaps. Nobody seems to remember what hoses they used.

I'm using an LQ4 with the truck accessories and the original radiator ( not the actual original, just a new reproduction ). I got a upper hose for a 04 Suburban but its ID to small for the radiator. The lower hose is the one that's killing me and I could use some help.

One of my buddies mentioned getting the radiator out of a 4th gen Camaro, but thats extra $$$ I trying to avoid spending..

Thanks in advance for any help.

Also if needed aluminum reducers in just about any size..

Thanks for the help! I already picked up the hoses, the only problem being is they fit the engine well but not the original radiator. My next option I guess is to pick up a 4th gen radiator....I was hoping to avoid that cost at the moment..
